When I hear shouts of White superiority I can’t help wondering if it’s because we’re mutants. Humans didn’t start out white. Scientists attribute the lighter skin to a genetic mutation as people migrated northward. It was a small change in the DNA code–just one letter out of the 3.1 billion letters in the human genome. The change didn’t add strength, intelligence, compassion, power, or supremacy. Yet somehow that tiny difference elevates us above all other DNA codes in some people’s minds.
Can someone please explain the logic to me?
